Chapter 4. Control Fundamentals - SWT: The Standard Widget Toolkit

Chapter 4. Control Fundamentals

We described the relationship between widgets and controls in the Widget Fundamentals chapter. In this chapter, we will look at a number of important concepts that are common to controls^[1] but not found in widgets. These include the concepts of bounds and client area, as well as the support for moving, resizing, and painting.

^[1] Remember that in SWT, controls are represented by instances of subclasses of class Control.
